Yep. Today, I’m comin’ atcha with a Luigi costume. For girls! (I’ll get to the boys’ version tomorrow, hopefully.) Trust me when I say that this is awesome, you guys. I was in my brother’s room, poking around, as is my way (I was actually looking for the iHome that he borrowed from me), and [...]

The One-Minute Organizer Plain & Simple by Donna Smallin My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is a great, quick read for those of us who find ourselves living comfortably in clutter, even while thinking in the back of minds that maybe we should try to get rid of that clutter. I have always loved [...]

My brother and I argued about this one, you guys. He originally suggested a Patrick Jane (“The Mentalist”) costume, but that turned out to be wildly expensive, and I couldn’t make it work. When I announced that I was doing a Martha Jones costume instead, he argued that a Martha Jones costume wasn’t distinctive enough [...]

Always check your sources, you guys, especially when it comes to the endless studies splashed across blogs, magazines, newspapers, and mentioned on the evening news. Check who sponsored the study, and then you’ll have the whole picture and can decide if you buy it or if you need a grain of salt … or a [...]

The Series of Unfortunate Events series. Horseradish. The movie based on his SoUE was pretty awesome, at least partly because he reportedly had considerable creative input. His name is LEMONY SNICKET for crying out loud. This article right here. OCCUPY WRITERS by LEMONY SNICKET
Business Casual Superstar #481: Halloween Costume: Meg Griffin (Mila Kunis, Family Guy)

Yesterday, I did Lois Griffin, the matriarch of the Griffin clan on “Family Guy.” Today, I’m back with her daughter, Meg, voiced by Mila Kunis, who I absolutely adore. (Mila, that is. Not Meg. Although Meg’s pretty hilarious.) One of the things I love about Mila is that even though she’s, what, a B+ actress [...]
This became especially poignant in light of #OccupyWallStreet

My review is kind of long, particularly the part where I chose to detail some of the problems faced by the missing class, but this book is definitely worth reading. It’s incredibly appropriate at this point in our country’s history, when cities across America are being occupied by those not interested in overturning capitalism, but [...]

I know it makes me a terrible feminist, and a terrible POC, and a terrible supporter of Palestine, but I do enjoy me some “Family Guy.” Come on, you have to give Seth MacFarlane some credit for basically selling Fox the SAME SHOW (Family Guy, American Dad, the Cleveland Show) three times. Although the Cleveland [...]

The other day, I put together an outfit inspired by Mister Fred Rogers of Neighborhood fame. He knows how to break-dance, you guys. It had to be done. But today I’m here with Eddie Murphy’s answer to Mister Rogers: Mister Robinson. If you’re an SNL fan, you know all about Mister Robinson. Or maybe you [...]

I loved Mister Rogers when I was little. We all did. All of us except Andy, who has informed me that even as a little boy, he would have no truck with cardigan-wearing elderly gentlemen that wanted him to join them on a trip to their magical kingdoms. He explained it to me when I [...]
